EMCORE's Optiva OTS-2L10, 10 MHz / L-Band Fiber Optic Links are optimized to provide transparent, simultaneous 10 MHz and L-Band signal transport. The Optiva OTS-2L10 provides excellent isolation of the 10 MHz from L-Band signals at the transmitter and receiver with very low phase noise, which facilitates greater flexibility to locate VSAT antennas for optimum performance. All the connectivity features of coaxial cable are maximized without the penalty of RF loss, which allows the system to dictate the location of the equipment and not the limitations of the coaxial cable.

The Optiva OTS-2L10 is designed with optically-isolated uncooled DFB (Distributed Feedback) lasers that enable high-dynamic-range links with fixed gain up to 10 km. Connection is via 50 Ohm SMA and the OTS-2L10 includes receiver DC output for the BUC upconverter with transmitter and receiver RF power monitoring via LED and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

"The Optiva 10 MHz / L-Band system is unique in its ability to simultaneously transport the 10 MHz and L-Band signals while keeping them isolated with the low phase noise," said Frank Weiss, EMCORE's Vice President of Advanced Systems. "This allows customers to optimize placement of their VSAT antennas for the best performance and minimal RF loss," added Weiss.
